Show Me Your...

Get your head out of the gutter! I randomly saw an opportunity to link up at Mrs. Yellow Ribbon to show our wedding rings. Seeing as my one year anniversary is coming up in a few months, I am starting to get nostalgic about my wedding day, so this is a perfect opportunity reminisce. So, here goes!

Did you look at rings together?
Joel bought my engagement ring all on his own. Once he proposed, we went together to pick out his ring, and bought it in person. Then Joel ordered my wedding ring, after I picked it out.

Do you like your ring? Did you from the beginning?...and be honest!
I absolutely, 100%, without a doubt loved my ring. It is beautiful! Was it the one I would have picked out? Probably not. But, I love it none the less.

How often do you wear your rings?
All the time. I never take them off.

Do you clean your rings?
I don't clean them every often. I will clean them more when I can buy nicer cleaner for them. Living overseas has its downfalls sometimes. Plus, I can't wait to have the jewelry store steam clean them!

What went through your mind the very first time you saw your ring?
OMG, is this really happening?! Look at how freaking big this rock is! Ooh...shiny! I love this man. YES!!!

Hiya!

My name is Kristen. I am originally from Indiana, but I've gone from living overseas in Germany to the suburbs of St. Louis, and now to Okinawa, Japan, where I moved in the summer of 2014 with my husband, Joel. He is moving right along with his Air Force career, and I am a Special Education Teacher, working in my very first classroom.

I am a college graduate (B.S. in History and Poli Sci and a Master's in Special Education), an animal lover, a traveler, a wine and food junkie, and someone who always thirsts for more in life. My life has had its ups and downs, but I will never forget those experiences and the people I have met along the way. For better or worse, they have made me who I am. And I wouldn't trade it for the world.
